The Daily Mail on February 24 cited a study with 3,000 European women participating, conducted by the charity Breast Cancer Now (UK), showing that beta-carotene-rich fruits such as carrots, kale, red bell peppers, and mangoes protect women from the risk of developing tumors from 40 to 60%.
According to the study, women who consume a beta-carotene-rich diet have a lower risk of developing estrogen receptors, which increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
Dr. Richard Berks, a researcher at Breast Cancer Now charity, said: “For a long time, a healthy diet with carrots has been known to reduce the risk of breast cancer by maintaining a healthy weight. Now science proves that beta-carotene helps reduce the risk of breast cancer by preventing the development of estrogen receptors.”
Furthermore, according to Dr. Berks, everyone can reduce the risk of breast cancer and other diseases through choosing a healthy lifestyle, such as maintaining a healthy weight, adopting a diverse and balanced diet, being more active, and limiting alcohol consumption.
The study was published in the American journal Clinical Nutrition.
The website of the UK National Health Service – NHS provides information that beta-carotene is a very important substance because when it enters the body, it converts to vitamin A, which is beneficial for vision and enhances the immune system.
However, the agency also warns that supplementing high doses of beta-carotene is associated with lung cancer in some people.
